The Sun, a Brilliant Lamp in the Sky
The Tender God created the Earth as a place for the human to live on, and erected the seven skies, and ornamented the first sky with the stars and the planets. In this sky there exist millions of stars and planets, which the Sun is one of these stars, by whose light and warmth, the down – pour of rain and the elements hidden in the soil cause the growth of the plants and bring prosperity to Earth for its inhabitants to enjoy them. The one God says:
And We built above you seven strong heavens; And placed a brilliant lamp; and sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water by which to produce grain and vegetations and gardens of thick foliage. (Verses 12-16)
